She announced on her Instagram page that she would not participate in the one on one due to clauses in her contract that allow the network to "legally make misrepresentations of me and my story, relating to any and all topics, prior to and during my participation."

Upon noting that her actions in the past have hurt many people, she explained that she would rather keep mute than continue the narrative.

"I would rather remain silent and wait until I am able to accurately share my story than continue having complete lies and misrepresentations about me smeared across the headlines," she stated. "I intend to speak and you will hear from me. I will share my story and this painful part of my life very soon."

In a now-deleted post on Instagram, the mother of two shared a cryptic message about the "truth" but almost immediately deleted it.

According to Page Six, she shared a post that read, "There's something about a woman with a loud mind that sits in silence, smiling, knowing she can crush you with the truth."

Although it's unclear what she meant, Shah will be required to make restitution payments to her victims equal to about 15% of her gross income over time.

"I am sorry. My actions have hurt innocent people. I want to apologize by saying, I am doing all I can to earn the funds to pay restitution," she said after hearing her sentence.

Even when her six and half years jail term elapses, Shah's freedom may not be fully reinstated as there are other conditions she must successfully meet before she is free.

According to TMZ, she must begin a mental health program after her jail term. The news outlet reports that she has to undergo the mental health program during the time of her supervised release, which is five years after her sentencing.

She'll also be required to continually take her medication unless otherwise stipulated by a medical professional. Her P.O. must also be aware of the mental health program she signs up for and needs to approve it.

Shah must also undergo a drug test at least twice during the mental health program to ascertain she has not relapsed into using.
